"save bug report" behavior
Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2020 9:24 pm
The "save bug report" button action is dependent on BugReportFile but I believe the online help is outdated:
If I only have a file name and no path it saves to the desktop, which isn't where I want the file. But now when a user clicks "Save" it opens with the default directory using the path, preferably that should be the desktop.
The work around was to set BugReportFile during eaSaveBugReport and reset it on eaSaveBugReport3.
A PITA especially when most logic is in inherited base forms.. seems like a complicated fix just wanted to spell it out.
I've been supplying a full path with filename (in code) yet "save bug report" still comes up with a File dialog, which BTW has only a text filter and doesn't append TXT to an MBR file when saved.If you specify a full path, no "save box" is shown, even if the user presses on the "save bug report" button, instead the bug report file is directly written to the specified path.
